Marlin

[Oddball]

Soon to get a new Marlin 1894C .38/.357 whey hey!
Can't wait to thump a few rounds through it. Hope the barrel can take the strain.

I might only be shooting at paper but I like to hit it hard.

Best of luck, if it's a brand new one I hope you get a good one

Remington took over and moved production a few years ago and I'm afraid the quality went rapidly downhill. If it's a used one make sure it has the "JM" stamp on the barrel, this should pretty much guarantee the quality as it's pre-Remington.

The bolt would be the first point of failure. You'd notice this when your teeth took on a whole new look

Aye - hitting hard is always preferable to hitting accurately when paper punching. Range muzzle energy limits are for amateurs!!

I applaud your enthusiasm, even though your grip on reality may be somewhat tenuous......

A Remlin eh..........................oh dear. :roll:

My old Marlin was made in 1978 and is a lovely bit of kit.

New ones.................I wouldn't give most of them house room I'm afraid.

Geez the poor guy is probably sitting at home thoroughly depressed after reading all those comments. Hope it works out all good for you mate

Having not seen an unbiased sample of Remlins I am not in a position of sufficient knowledge to comment on the quality of their output. From their comments it is clear that other posters in this thread are in such a position, and consider it appropriate to discourage Oddball before he has set eyes on his new, expensive toy. I know that if I had put down a hefty chunk of my hard-earned I would hope that those around me would have the courtesy and good taste to speak a little more considerately.
